[MLS ROOKIES WATCH] This was supposed to be one of the best rookie classes in recent history, and they certainly lived up to it. The best of the lot may be D.C.
United's Nick DeLeon, son of former NASL star Leroy DeLeon, with two goals and an assist in his last two games. Two
rookies, New York goalie Ryan Meara and Columbus midfielder Kirk Urso, have played every minute for their team, and six
other rookies played at least half the time.

Andrew Wenger (Montreal) and Darren Mattocks (Vancouver) went
1-2 in the MLS SuperDraft and were supposed to be the top attacking prospects in the draft, but neither has yet to start. Wenger has come off the bench three times, while Mattocks, who is recovering
from burns suffered in a cooking fire, has played one minute.

DeLeon was one of five rookies to score at least one goal in March. Except for his first goal in a 3-1 loss at Los Angeles,
all the goals have been in winning efforts.

In addition, Luis Silva scored for Toronto FC in the first leg of its Concacaf Champions League series
win over Los Angeles.

All but two players were taken in the 2012 MLS Super Draft or Supplemental Draft. Christian Hernandez was a Philadelphia
Union homegrown signing, while Junior Burgos was taken by Toronto FC in the 2011 SuperDraft.
